Game # 23: Boston Red Socks (17-5) @ Toronto Blue Jays (14-8)

PRE-AMBLE: Tonight is a busy night in Toronto sports land. At 7:00 the Leafs are in action for game 7 of the first round of the NHL playoffs in Boston, hoping to advance past the first round for the first time since 2013 . At the same time the Raptors will host the Wizards at the ACC, trying not to choke for the 5th year in a row. Toronto FC is also playing tonight against Chivas in the CONCACAF Cup. I am not sure what that means, but I hear it is kind of a big deal. That game is on at 9:30. And of course just down the street at the Skydome, the Jays will host the Red Sox, looking to win another series and inch closer to first place. If you are going to the game tonight, expect to be the only person in attendance, and also to be weary of traffic as Maple Leaf square will be closed for a "joint tailgating party" as seen in the tweet below. Real disrespectful that there is no mention of the superior Toronto team, The Blue Jays. (I know all the other teams are owned by MLSE and the Jays arent)

OF NOTE: Aaron Sancherson will take the mount tonight for the Jays. He has looked pretty good so far this season but there is some concern over his diminished velocity. Osuna threw over 30 pitches yesterday and blew a save so I would think he is unavailable tonight. Yesterday the Jays only managed 4 hits off of Porcello and Chris Sale pitches tomorrow for the Red Socks. For these reasons and many more, lets score a shit load of runs tonight and beat these bean-eaters!

Also some tidbits from Shi....
